THE fifth round of the William Hill Scottish Cup starts tonight with Rangers v Dunfermline. Hills’ very own Owen Scott has dug up some interesting stats on the ties. And remember this is info you may or may not want to use. They are not tips though (prices from William Hill). Rangers v Dunfermline Rangers have scored three goals in […]

William Hill Scottish Cup 5th rd, Friday, 7.30pm, live on BBC1 Scotland OWEN COYLE reckons bookies are crazy to make Rangers joint second favourites for the Scottish Cup – and we’ll see if he’s right. Celtic are a best 4-5 at Ladbrokes while Rangers and Dundee Utd are next in the betting at 8-1. Former Wigan, Bolton and Burnley boss […]

AS the site continues to be busier it seems that fans of all sports are looking for tips. I couldn’t believe the number of comments about the Super Bowl on Sunday and last weekend there were plenty of rugby-related conversations. The Six Nations resumes this weekend with the big one – Scotland v England. Scotland were woeful in Dublin last […]

IT wasn’t a bad week with two top-five finishes (Graham DeLaet and Thorbjorn Olesen). My top tip was Rory McIlroy and he looked on course for victory until being hit by food poisoning. This week it’s the AT&T at Peeble Beach with Phil Mickelson, Dustin Johnson, Jason Day and Brandt Snedeker among the starters. My first pick is Dustin Johnson. […]

ATLETICO MADRID have performed miracles to edge ahead of Real Madrid and Barcelona in the title race and stay in contention to win the Champions League. Their success adds an edge to tonight’s Copa del Rey semi-final first leg at the Bernabeu. Real’s run of 10 wins in a row as ended by a 1-1 draw at Athletic Bilbao at […]

IN a way tonight’s FA Cup replay is a tie neither side needs as league points are the priority. But it might be the only game they can triumph in – with neither experiencing a league victory since New Year’s Day. After slumping to the foot of the Premier League Fulham boss Rene Meulensteen says “defeat is not an option” […]

IT’S being billed as a title decider but of course it’s too early for that – but Man City will know the importance of moving six points clear of Chelsea with a win. This game could go two ways – either City steamroller their rivals as they have done with almost every visitor to the Etihad. Or it could become […]

SOUTHAMPTON boss Mauricio Pochettino reckons skipper Adam Lallana would make the World Cup squad of every nation that’s qualified for Brazil. England boss Roy Hodgson watched the midfielder net two in the 3-0 win at Fulham at the weekend and surely he’ll agree. Ladbrokes have cut Lallana’s odds to be on the plane from 11-10 to 10-11 and it’s still […]

ABERDEEN haven’t reached a cup final for 14 years and this could be the day. Derek McInnes’s men are favourites to finish second in the SPFL and with Celtic – and Rangers – out the way this is their best chance in years to lift silverware. In 23 knockout contests the Dons have never lost to the Perth men so […]

SCOTLAND rugby Legend Gavin Hastings is tipping Wales to win the Six Nations at odds of 37-20 on his unibet blog. He also reckons Warren Gatland’s men will win the Triple Crown at 9-2 with Unibet. The one-time Scotland and British Lions captain also tips George North to be top Six Nations try scorer at 6-1. Read more of Gavins […]

THE first team not on my Top Treble this weekend are Scunthorpe after beating me two Saturdays on the spin. As we all know they threw away a 3-0 lead to draw at Dagenham after a match that was suspended for five minutes then restarted in appalling conditions. To be fair to Scunny having watched the highlights the equaliser was […]

WATFORD went from zeroes to heroes with fixed-odds fans at the weekend as they blew a 2-0 half-time lead to lose 4-2. Their first-half display transformed Man City from 1-20 shots to 5-2 at one point – and the beauty of the internet allowed me to advise backing the Premier League side inplay. City’s comeback cost bookies an estimated £10million […]

SERGO GARCIA did us proud with a blemish free seven-under 65 on the last day to win the Qatar Masters last weekend after a play-off with Mikko Illonen. It was the second year running Garcia had a final-day flourish only this time he won after being tipped at 8-1. Rory McIlroy must be the main bet this week in the […]

I’M a lover of singles, doubles and trebles but I appreciate visitors to the site do a variety of bets and use contrasting stakes. The Super Single is for bigger stakes and the Top Treble to a certain extent. My homes and aways fall into the middle category while draws, scorers and match result and both teams to score fall […]

IT’S a massive night of football betting so try to avoid the temptation of picking too many teams or doing too many bets. I’ll put up the top tips in the morning but here are my initial thoughts – with a Super Single shortlist on the end so cast your votes. The biggest game is of course the Merseyside derby […]

I TOLD you all about the big bets Coral had to pay out on Saturday and what about this one for a match result and both to score accumulator. An anonymous electrician from Scarborough scooped £74,844 for £5 bet on a sixfold, helped by Oldham’s comeback from 3-0 down to beat Peterborough 5-4. The man in his 30s said: “I […]

FOR the second time in three weekends bookies took a hammering from backers of big accumulators featuring the favourites. The 14 most popular teams in accumulator bets all won on Saturday ad Coral estimated a £10million loss for Britain’s high street betting shops. Spokesman Simon Clare said: “Football punters have had the most incredible start to 2014 winning over £40m […]

I’M off to drown my sorrows after an incredible turnaround in fortunes for the Super Single – but I’ll be back in time to watch the Lazio v Juventus game. I picked Scunthorpe after Dumbarton’s game was postponed and the lights went out on their game with a few minutes left and leading 3-2 at Dagenham. It was sod’s law […]

HERE’S the team news for Sunday’s FA Cup and SPFL matches. Knowing who is injured or suspended is important but when it comes to cup ties you want to know the strength of side being put out. So have a look at these and keep your eye on manager’s comments ahead of the big matches. Chelsea v Stoke Striker Fernando […]

OUR golf tipster Ace Venturer is waiting on Jordan Spieth to win the Farmers Insurance Open for a tremendous 369-1 double. His top tip for the Qatar Masters was Sergio Garcia at 8-1 and in fact he wrote “I can’t see passed the Spaniard” before giving his reasoning. Garcia won today and that was a great shout but it will […]

HERE’S the team news for the weekend’s SPFL matches with some crucial points Adam Rooney’s signing for Aberdeen and Ryan Stevenson’s suspension for Hearts. I strongly fancy Ross County to beat the Jambos but they are a short price and I’ll be on Celtic tomorrow. The other games are close calls but I have a sneaky feeeling for Aberdeen who […]

TEAM news is vital this weekend but in FA Cup ties it’s also important to see what teams are going to be at full strength. This gives you some idea about who’s on and who’s out but keep an eye on managers’ comments to see how they are approaching games. Birmingham v Swansea Recent loan signing Albert Rusnak is set […]

SCUNTHORPE let me down on the treble last weekend but I’m giving them another chance. It’s a tricky card with all the FA Cup ties and of course I’m leaving out the extremely short-priced sides such as Man City, Liverpool and Everton and going for value. I’ve had more success with trebles than Super Singles recently with six up in […]

You can follow his progress here and feel free to put up your own picks for a £10 to £1000 challenge. This has proved a popular feature and so it’s something we’ll look to do in the […]

WILLIAM HILL have reported a significant gamble on Roger Federer to beat Rafa Nadal in the semi-final of the Australian Open on Friday morning. As a result the Swiss star has been cut from 6-4 to 5-4 with Nadal the 8-13 favourite. When these two meet you are often in for a five-set thriller and it is 5-2 the semi-final […]
